-:SUB:Name order
+:SUB:Name Order
<p>
- In most English speaking countries, names are given in a "given name, family name"
- order. This is called "Western Order". In English, you call someone using their
- given name if you know them well, otherwise use their title and family name.
- In Japanese (and some other languages too), names are given in "family name, given name"
- order. We call this "Japanese Order". In Japanese you can call someone using either
- name with an appropriate suffix. To aid English speakers familiar, some resources
- (e.g. wikipedia) switch round Japanese names. Here on vndb.org, we prefer to use the
- order that the original game used. That is, if it was originally a Japanese game with
- Japanese character names, use Japanese order. If the game is originally English, or
- a character has a completely foreign name (Mary Smith), use Western order.

+:SUB:Edit Summaries
+<p>
+ Every edit to any page has an optional "Edit summary" box.
+ <br />
+ This allows you to explain yourself on what your edit is about without cluttering the main page.
+ <br />
+ You can say why you've modified the categories, changed a link, or show where you obtained some information (so that other contributors can verify it).
+ <br />
+ Perhaps you want to add a visual novel to the database but are unable to find more information for it.
+ If you say so here, another contributor is bound to finish it off.
